Microsoft finally takes on Google Docs with real-time editing in Office Web Apps | The Verge

Better late than never?...
"Microsoft’s range of Office Web Apps are finally getting real-time editing today. Word, PowerPoint, and Excel are all being updated with the ability to support co-authoring that’s similar to Google Docs. While Office Web Apps has supported the editing and sharing of documents, it lacked the real-time element that’s essential for collaborative editing amongst groups of users. Microsoft promised the support back in June, and the improvements now place the company’s offerings in a position to compete with Google Docs fully."
